Now their putting in composite fiberglass poles


Bought a new (to us) lake house. The front porch overhang has a dozen nearly pefectly round 5/8" dia holes. Some through (about an 1/8" dia). Most nearly through. I'm pretty sure they are Pecker holes! I noticed thge light coming through small holes when inspecting the attic area for bats. PS BATS SUCK smile


Are the Bats entering the attic and/nesting in the woodpecker holes?

Bats were entering at a transision between like a bay window and the main roof. Litterially slipping under a shingle. When I saw approx where they were coming out I put a next camera on the roof. They were slipping under a spot about the size and thickness of a butter knife handle!!! They slipped in and out almost like magic. Local "bat expert" wanted $5000 just to tell them to leave smile LUCKILY there is a bunch of info online. The camera on the roof was the best investment/method. The CRAZY part is you can't just seal them in. I had to wait till 9:30PM every night when the left (about 4 of them) like clockwork. Then go up on the roof and cover/block that spot. Opened it back up in the morning. Had to do this for about a week to make sure they all wetre out and had left. Then sealed for good. Then paid almost $1000 to have strips of Z shaped metal mesh over the edges of all the ridge vents. Guess that the most common place for them to come and go. WHEW. What a learning curve that was.
